Dr. An not only thanked him for his trip to Huimin Hall, but also thanked him for his righteous deed of running around to buy medicine.
He opened the bundle and saw the letter on the top.
There are old and new ink marks. The first ones are all common things, asking him if he is well, taking care of himself, etc. The few strokes added in a hurry are about Gu Feng's situation.
His family has been a doctor for three generations. After his grandfather passed away in old age, the third uncle in my father’s generation who had the best medical skills was called up by the government to go to Gufeng at the early stage of the epidemic. This letter is preceded by his father’s tone and followed by his second aunt’s words.
Write.
My father and second uncle both went to Gufeng.
Doctor An frowned when he saw this.
My father's qualifications are mediocre, but he still worked hard to study medicine in order to inherit the family business. But his second uncle took the path of literature. Although he knows more than ordinary people because of his ears and eyes, he can face such menacing people.
The epidemic will only help you.
The second aunt wrote about the reason later. Gu Feng's condition was not good, and the epidemic was not stopping...
"Brother Yan, did you feel anything was wrong when you went to Yongning City?" Dr. An asked him.
Yan Laoer was stunned, what's wrong? What's wrong?
"I went into the city and visited a few pharmacies, but I found that the medicines for treating epidemic diseases were more expensive, and the prices of other medicines had also increased." Yan Laoer told the truth.
Doctor An sighed and asked again: "Have you heard the news about Gu Feng circulating in the city?"
He was also treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and he didn't think Yan Laoer could pay attention to this.
But I didn't expect Yan Laoer to really know.
"I heard it, everything was said." Yan Laoer learned all the remarks and summed it up himself: "It sounds like it was spread out, and it's unreliable."
Dr. An was silent for a while.
Lower your eyes.
Perhaps, the truth lies in these unbelievable rumors.
If the epidemic cannot be controlled, in order to prevent it from spreading to innocent people, some people may suggest that all the sick people be taken away to an empty and desolate place.
Let them fend for themselves.
afterwards.
A fire...burn it clean.
This is the cruelest and most helpless method.
He squeezed the letter tightly, hugged the baggage and left without saying a word.
Yan Laoer:......
What situation is this?
"Dr. An, have you finished checking the medicine? Is everything okay?" he stretched his neck and shouted.
Dr. An stopped, turned around, nodded to him, and said in a deep voice: "It can be stored in the warehouse."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
When Yan Huaiwen turned around, Yan Laoer complained to him: "Brother, do you think Dr. An was tired from seeing a doctor? He was acting weird. He asked me about the rumors about Gu Feng in Yongning City. I told him the truth, and he turned around and left.
He looks extremely ugly."
Yan Huaiwen asked: "What did you say?"
Yan Laoer repeated it again.
Yan Huaiwen frowned and had a bad guess in his mind.
"By the way, brother, this is my shopping list." Yan Laoer slapped his forehead and almost forgot about such a crucial thing. He hurriedly took it out from his pocket and handed it over.
Yan Huaiwen glanced at it a few times and raised his eyebrows.
Yan Laoer's eyes were full of expectation: "Brother, how much money will Qi Si and I be given for this business trip?"
Yan Huaiwen rubbed his eyebrows.
For this kind of tolerance, which can obviously earn some money, the people below are struggling to get it, and they don't hesitate to go up to the top for this. How can anyone get the money from the yamen honestly, and it is not a hard job.
There is still some blank space in his official documents. There is no problem in transcribing them one by one according to the market price, but...
Where does this leave God’s blessing?
God bless you who love money, but you have to get it wisely!
If he, the elder brother, confuses the purchase amount with the official salary, wouldn't it be a sincere heart that is ignorant and blessed by God?!
Absolutely not!
Thinking of this, Yan Huaiwen left with these purchase orders.
Yan Laoer waited eagerly again, constantly calculating in his mind, how much difference in silver he could get, and whether each person had one tael? It was such a long journey, but it was quite difficult for him and Qi Si, so he would be satisfied with just one tael.
of.
If it's any less...it can't be less than five cents. It's too much of a loss if it's less than five cents. It's better to burn charcoal at home.
Hiss! But it can’t be calculated that way. They made a selfless contribution this time. Whether it was going to the mountains to collect medicine or buying medicine from a distant place, it didn’t matter if they didn’t give it.
That's right, you can't think like that, we are doing good things.
Look at Huju, how difficult it is to resettle the victims, provide food and seeds, and are unlucky enough to encounter an epidemic.
Alas, if I had known I would not have stopped at the inn along the way, I would have wasted so much money.
Well, if you go out next time, bring more food rations and take care of everything yourself. If you can't stay at the inn, you won't be able to stay...
Although Yan Laoer wanted to understand, although his heart ached, he still said to Qi Si in an upright manner: "Qi Si, let's just recover the capital now. If you don't give me the difference, I won't take it. Everything I spent on the road is mine, so I'll treat it as my own.
That’s a good thing.”
Qi Si was very kind: "Brother Yan, how can I be blamed on you? I will also eat and drink, and we will share it equally."
Yan Laoer nodded seriously: "Okay, we two brothers will share it equally."
Qi Si reacted again, "Brother Yan, I made a mistake. It's not an equal share. I eat more, so I have to count more."
"We brothers are so worried about what to do, so it's settled." Yan Laoer waved his hands nonchalantly.
…
Mr. Tian was surprised when he got these three thin purchase orders.
It's not that he has never seen it before, he has seen this kind of purchase list a lot. As long as it is purchased by the government, there will almost always be such a list.
Buying medicinal materials directly from Xiao'an Village, where Yan Hushu lives, yesterday is a rare exception.
What surprised him was that these three were all real orders.
It is not the kind of accounting voucher issued specifically for government servants, but a real purchase order.
Yan Hushu’s younger brother...
Mr. Tian recalled that he had a different impression of Yan Huaian, who was always smiling and talking to people, and seemed a bit slippery.
There was a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Yan Hushu, your conduct is valuable."
Yan Huaiwen: "Huai'an's worldly feelings are still shallow, and his actions are often not thoughtful."
Master Tian smiled and shook his head.
"Yan Hushu is too humble. I think it's due to family tradition. You two brothers are both outstanding in character. It's really a blessing to be able to settle in this county."
"Your Majesty's words hold true."
"Don't be polite, Yan Hushu. I am very optimistic about Yan Hushu's future. If you go further in the future, I can ask my younger brother to take over the position of household secretary for you."
Mr. Tian waved his hand and dropped the market prices of various medicinal materials on the blank space left by Yan Huaiwen.
Every stroke is understood by heart.
"Yan Hushu, let's calculate the total price."
Yan Huaiwen took it with both hands and said yes.
Mr. Tian also explained: "By the way, I remember that your brother sent a batch of masks. They are also regarded as government-issued masks. Well, they are rated as two cents per pair.
Send it later, use the seal together, and then settle the money with your brother."
There are countless account books that Yan Huaiwen has reviewed, and he can roughly count them after scanning them briefly.
A pair of masks is worth two cents, and the big boss is obviously subsidizing it.
